android 4.x or ice cream sandwich edition.

In that case i need to go to HTC only, because i buy this phone for doing Android Development... Not for normal use...

----------

HTC hardware is top notch. So yes, go for an HTC.

And as for software testing, I am sure all software have bugs, so it's not Sony's software are buggy in nature.

It's just that testers end up seeing a lot more issues than real people.

----------

personally i would go for xperia ray over one v. that is my preference in this price bracket.

Ok thanks for ur update, may be this week i will but Android phone, I will update soon...

For development, the Nexus phones are your best option.

nexus s or nexus one would be hard to find in the market these days. Galaxy nexus is not officially launched in india. it is apparently on sale for around Rs. 25K in the Mumbai grey market. not sure about delhi or chennai

I did review in my office, where one of my friend says Dont go for 1GHz processor, that is old one. Go for atleast dual core 1.2 GHz, also he suggested [h=1]HTC Sensation[/h] (Carbon Grey)

HTC Sensation: Price in India, Reviews, Specification: Flipkart.com

What ur suggestion between 1GHZ and dual core processor?

 

[Sushubh]

we suggested phones based on your budget. otherwise you might want to consider motorola atrix 2. i have a nexus s running 1GHz. it is pretty smooth running ice cream sandwich.

Where i can get it, my friends also suggested that, but i did not find anywhere for around 20K.

Yeah, if you can stretch budget then people have said even Galaxy Nexus is available at 24.5. But I doubt if it will be available in Chennai (Maybe Ritchie Street). And again bill & warranty would be a question.
